context_page_description: West Timperley railway station was situated on the Glazebrook East Junction–Skelton Junction line of the Cheshire Lines Committee between Glazebrook and Stockport Tiviot Dale. It served the locality between 1873 and 1964.
context_section_description: The station was built by the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) and opened for passengers on 2 September 1873. It was sometimes referred to as West Timperley for Altrincham and Bowdon in some railway timetables. The station was located immediately west of the A56 Manchester Road in Broadheath near to West Timperley at a point just north of the road junction with Lindsell Road, and just south of the point where Timperley Brook runs under Manchester Road which forms the Broadheath - Timperley boundary. It was named West Timperley to differentiate it from the other station in Broadheath. The CLC line was elevated on an embankment here and crossed the A56 by an overbridge.
